New Religion (A Dialogue Between The Ego And The Alter Ego) Lyrics by Duran Duran

New Religion (A Dialogue Between The Ego And The Alter Ego)

I've been now sauntering out and down a path sometime.
Come on, it takes me nowhere which I know
Faces everywhere pulling grins and signs and things
Telling me not there man, it's no go [Don't go there boy]

I need a reason [I can't think without one now]
Too much learning got to show
Call it treason [Maybe catch her don't know how]
Too many things too much to know


I'll bring my timing in, seagulls gather on the wind.
Lady screaming, lady leave me out
'cause sometimes people stare [Sitting down, electric chair]
And steaming crowds they gather and they shout


chorus
Don't know why this evil bothers me [Take another chance boy carry the
fight You can take him if you're fast]

So why is he trying to follow me? [Didn't I say if you're holdin' on
You'd be laughing at the last]

How many reasons do they need? [I get along fine with them friends of
mine, But you have to make a choice]

I might just believe this time [You're singing out of tune, but the beats
in time. And it's us who make the noise]

I'm talking for free. I can't stop myself, It's a new religion
I've something to see, I help myself, It's a new religion
end chorus


Okay my reasoning might be clouded by the sun
But someone sees the departmental lie
You know this peacetime [jabbing fist in, stabbing knife]
Only get one look before you die


Gotta take pay from the saints 'n' sinners, in regulation hats 'n scarves 'n
things

Walking in formation down the lane. They carry their cross make a church bell
ring

Army majors pull a mean cool truth, they're a-lying in the swimming pool

Searching for the undeniable truth, that a man is just a fool

repeat chorus
